Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 715 - : Open up your heart

Chapter 715: Open up your heart

Li Wei noticed Brittany, but he didn’t think she wanted to talk to him, bluntly lumping him in with Kelsey in the category of “bad influences who led Mahomes astray.” She clearly didn’t want to hear any defenses for Mahomes, not even sparing a glance in his direction.

So, logically, Li Wei kept his distance, merely nodding his head lightly in acknowledgement.

However, what he hadn’t anticipated was—

“…Li Wei.”

The call shattered the tranquility of the morning.

Li Wei halted in his tracks, looking over in confusion. He could see Brittany’s face contorted with struggle and hesitance, but ultimately, she clenched her teeth, looked up at Li Wei with an expression of someone facing their execution.

...

“Would you jog with me for a bit?”

Jog?

Initially, Li Wei thought his morning jog had already come to an end.

But, since Brittany had asked, Li Wei gestured resolutely, “Of course, no problem.”

Waiting for Brittany to catch up, Li Wei slightly adjusted his jogging pace and continued on from his doorstep.

Brittany was unsettled, her mind not on the running at all. Barely jogging a little while, not even two hundred meters, her breathing became erratic.

Panting, panting.

Brittany called out to Li Wei, “Slower, slower.”

Li Wei blinked, “Even slower? That would be racewalking, not jogging.”

Brittany shot Li Wei a glare, “Then let’s walk.”

Li Wei: …

Brittany: …

Even without Li Wei saying a word, Brittany could see the speechlessness in his eyes, and she exploded, “Walk! Then let’s just walk!”

Li Wei raised his hands in surrender, “Then let’s take a walk, there’s no need to get angry, I’m innocent, and it wouldn’t be good to harm the flowers and plants.”

Brittany almost couldn’t catch her breath, “You’re innocent? If it weren’t for you, Patrick would have never gone to those… places.”

Li Wei didn’t argue, “Would Patrick never encounter temptation without me? Come on, Brittany, let’s be rational and clear-headed. You should know what Patrick might face after becoming a professional athlete. No need to look for it; those temptations come knocking on their own.”

Brittany’s chest heaved violently, “You’re shirking your responsibility.”

Li Wei, “Hey, you want to blame me, or anyone else on the team, go ahead, I don’t care, I don’t need to walk on eggshells around you; but if you think Patrick did nothing wrong, why did you kick him out?”

Brittany, “…I didn’t.”

Li Wei, “What?”

Brittany, “I didn’t kick him out. We had a huge fight, and he packed his things and left on his own. I never asked him to leave.”

Li Wei choked, “That idiot…”

Actually, Li Wei didn’t want to interfere. It’s hard for a clean official to break up a family feud, and he didn’t want to get involved in Mahomes’ romantic relationship, as it was too complicated.

But now.

Looking at Brittany, Li Wei sighed softly, without wanting to, there was no other way.

“Since you’re worried about him, why don’t you give him a call?”

Brittany turned her head to the side, “Who’s worried about him. Definitely not me.”

Li Wei sized up Brittany, “He’s currently in agony in hell.”

“Ha, good for him. He deserves it.” Brittany was still stubborn.

Li Wei gently shook his head.

But thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising, after all, both Mahomes and Brittany were just over twenty years old, young adults.

Plus, the two were childhood sweethearts and had things easy all along. Mahomes was already contemplating how to propose; this was probably their first real emotional test, and it was difficult for them both.

Involuntarily, Li Wei exhaled deeply, it seemed he needed to play the role of a kindergarten teacher.

“Brittany, the mistake has been made, and dwelling on the past isn’t the solution. Leaving it alone isn’t right either. What’s more important now is how to face the mistake.”

“Besides, I don’t think what happened could really be called a mistake, maybe you should…”

Her words were cut off before she could finish; Brittany interrupted directly.

“Not a mistake? What? What are you talking about?”

Brittany glared fiercely at Li Wei, her expression looking like she might bite someone at any moment.

“He texted a woman and saved her photo on his phone for over half a year, almost a year!”

Li Wei appeared somewhat helpless—

Facing her, Brittany was like this; it was hard to imagine what she would be like facing Mahomes.

“Calm down, Brittany, can we please calm down?”

Li Wei gazed at Brittany sincerely and forthrightly.

Finally, Brittany calmed down a little and awkwardly shifted her gaze.

Li Wei, “I’m not making excuses for him. But he didn’t exchange messages with that person; it was the woman who sent them on her own.”

Brittany, “But he didn’t delete them, did he?”

Li Wei: Uh…

Brittany, “He didn’t reply, that’s true; but at the same time he didn’t delete them, and he didn’t block her either. That photo has been on his phone all this time, so you can imagine what he might have used those photos for.”

So that was it.

Li Wei, “Alright.”

Li Wei’s straightforward agreement caught Brittany off guard.

The mood, slightly eased.

Li Wei looked directly into Brittany’s eyes, “I understand your unease and anger, but Brittany, you are now pushing Patrick away.”

“No one wants to make mistakes, everyone hopes to make the right choices; but the reality is, no one is perfect.”

“Everyone makes mistakes; no one is an exception.”

“Making mistakes is terrible, believe me, it feels absolutely awful; but what has happened has happened, and what is more important now is to face the mistake.”

“We need to think about how to correct it, how to reflect on it, how to avoid repeating it.”

Brittany, “You’re asking me to forgive him.”

Li Wei laughed, “Heh.”

Brittany didn’t understand.

Li Wei waved his hand, “I’m not prepared to tell you what you should do.”

“Believe me, if I were in my right mind, I wouldn’t want to get involved in your love life. I’m quite content with the current position of my hairline and would rather not see it receding any time soon.”

The half-serious, half-joking tone made Brittany inevitably laugh.

“Pfft.”

A burst of laughter lightened the atmosphere slightly.

Only then did Li Wei continue.

“What I mean to say is, you need to face the issue, to confront the mistake head on.”

“If you think this is an unforgivable mistake, then end it quickly. End your pain and Patrick’s pain. There’s no point dragging it out, it’s unfair to both of you.”

“But if you believe this mistake doesn’t stop you from caring about Patrick, then you need to face up to it and have an honest conversation with Patrick.”

“Look, it’s like this, I know an apology won’t solve everything, but at least it can be the first step.”

“Patrick might have made a mistake, our team’s management might make mistakes, and you and I are no different. People often like to define someone by their mistakes, but I prefer to define them by how they face and handle those mistakes.”

“I’m not after perfection but the ability to get back on track after making a mistake.”

Just, fair.

Honest, forthright.

His calm words truly quieted Brittany down and she couldn’t help but deeply ponder Li Wei’s words, slowly sinking into contemplation.
